“Gurgle gurgle…”

In the earth-attributed spiritual vein, Gu Yuan looked with ecstasy at the large river formed by the spiritual energy droplets flowing in it.

The spiritual vein is like a small world, and the space inside is beyond imagination.

Gu Yuan is the creator of this world. What he has to do now is to allow more liquid spiritual energy to flow into this world.

Calming down, Gu Yuan continued his journey of refining.

…

Somewhere in the dark underground of Boulder City, no one would have thought that there would be a hidden palace here.

The palace was filled with darkness, with no sunlight at all, and a faint smell of blood emanated from the entire space.

The entrance to the palace is a monster head with a green face and fangs. It is unknown what kind of monster it is.

Inside the palace, a black coffin was placed in the center, looking quite eerie against the backdrop of the dark environment.

Outside the coffin, six people were kneeling on both sides of the coffin. They knelt on the ground with their foreheads touching the ground, as if they were worshiping the coffin.

Not long after, a strange laugh, neither male nor female, came from within the coffin: "My slaves, have you recovered?"

When the six people outside the coffin heard this voice, they trembled all over and said in unison: "Our Emperor, we are always ready to sacrifice ourselves for our Emperor."

"Hahahaha, so you're recovered, right? Very good!"

There was a faint vibration from inside the coffin, and then there was no sound.

…

"Can you tell me who Gu Yuan is?"

The little witch stood in front of Chi Yuer and asked.

"He is just my friend." Chi Yuer said lightly.

"Friend? Tsk tsk, that's really strange. What kind of friend could make a talented girl from the Holy Sect travel across half the continent to come here? Could it be her childhood sweetheart?" The little witch teased.

Chi Yu'er's pretty face flushed instantly. She no longer cared about her image and scolded him with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl?"

After the exchange just now, it was obvious that Chi Yuer and the little witch had become quite familiar with each other.

"Tsk, you're still saying no? If it's not true, why are you blushing? Did I guess it right?"

The little witch stared at Chi Yu'er closely and continued, "Now I'm quite curious about Sister Chi's true appearance. I don't know what Sister Chi looks like. Although I can't see her, I imagine she's a stunningly beautiful girl. Why would she be involved with that stinky, poor brat Gu Yuan?"

"What poor boy? I said, he is my friend!" Chi Yuer corrected hurriedly.

"Hey, hey, you still don't admit it. I just said it casually, and you started to refute me. Tell me, what is your relationship?" The little witch was even more curious at this time.

"Humph! I won't tell you. If you want to know, then take Gu Yuan to the Central Region. One day you will know!"

"Well, since you don't want to tell me, I will personally take Gu Yuan to the Central Region to find you." The little witch said angrily.

Chi Yu'er smiled and shook her head, saying, "Once your grandfather completes his breakthrough, I will leave."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean it will be soon? Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you planning to meet Gu Yuan?" asked the little witch.

Chi Yu'er shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I came to see him secretly this time. I didn't have much time, and I was afraid he probably didn't want to see me."

Looking at Chi Yuer's somewhat lonely expression, the little witch became more certain that there must be an unspeakable relationship between the two.

"Let's not talk about this for now... Sister Chi, I want to ask you a question." The little witch became serious.

Chi Yuer asked, "What's the matter?"

"With the blessing of the Yin-Yang Profound Pill, what is the probability of Old Man Hammer successfully breaking through?"

Chi Yuer was stunned. She didn't expect the little witch to ask this question.

"Hurry up and tell me! Please tell me!" The little witch was anxious.

Chi Yuer frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Less than 10%."

After a long silence, Chi Yuer finally spoke.

The little witch was completely stunned.

She looked at Chi Yu'er in disbelief. The situation that Chi Yu'er was worried about, which was out of control, didn't occur. "Is there no way to increase the chances of success?"

Chi Yu'er shook her head and said, "He's already too old. His life span isn't much anymore, and his vitality has weakened by 70% to 80%. If he were in his prime, he would definitely succeed. But now, it's almost impossible."

The little witch blinked, and the slightly red eyes immediately became bright.

"No! No way, I'm going back now to tell Old Man Hammer that I don't want him to try!"

The little witch suddenly turned around and was about to fly towards the black market.

But he was stopped by Chi Yuer.

"You can't go!"

"Why?" The little witch stared at Chi Yuer with wide eyes.

"You know the old man's character better than I do. If it were in the past, he would definitely choose not to take risks and quietly accompany you, but now it is impossible. His time is almost up. If he doesn't fight to the death, there will really be no chance!"

"Are we just going to watch old man Hammer go to his death?" the little witch asked.

Chi Yu'er patted the little witch's shoulder and said, "The deadline is approaching. This is God's will. Even a Spiritual Emperor cannot cross this threshold unless he can break through the Emperor Realm and reach the Lord Realm. Every day of delay will reduce the old man's vitality and blood, and the chance of success will also decrease. So what you should do now is to seize the time to prepare for the old man's breakthrough, rather than trying to dissuade him. Pursuing the great way is the way of our generation. I will never regret it even if I die!"

"I will never regret it even if I die!" These four words lingered in the little witch's ears, and her face turned pale.

"Sister Chi, I...I feel a little unwell, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, the little witch disappeared directly into the space.

Chi Yu'er sighed and murmured, "I hope you won't blame me in the future, Senior Hammer Emperor. I will definitely do what I promised you."

Back at the black market, the little witch forced herself to suppress the gloom in her heart and returned to the Hammer King's spiritual weapon shop.

"Um?"

Seeing Gu Yuan sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, the little witch was a little surprised. This was a breakthrough!

"You're such a careless person! You're not even afraid of someone coming in and interrupting your breakthrough."

The little witch said something unhappily, then raised her hand and set up a barrier to cover Gu Yuan. Then she sat down beside him, keeping her eyes on Gu Yuan's condition at all times.

"This guy isn't handsome, just average. Why is Sister Chi so nice to him? Not only did she travel across half the continent to come here, she even paid a huge price for me to become his protector. This is pie in the sky, right?"

The little witch dragged her chin boredly, staring blankly at Gu Yuan's thin cheeks, and then gave such an evaluation.

At this time, Gu Yuanke was completely unaware of the arrival of the little witch, and was wholeheartedly pursuing his own breakthrough.

The little witch turned her head and looked into the depths of the room. There was the old man Hammer's secret room. No one could go in and disturb him without his permission.
